Island Update: Special 20th Anniversary Edition

Week of May 7th, 2017 to May 13th, 2017

Wasn't
that a Party! Thank you for such a great celebration. It was great to
have usual special features being extra special on the show this week
including the artist greetings, and a very cool Rick's Rare Rock and
Roll Relic with "Rock and Roll Radio" by Joe Boot and the Fabulous
Winds, and a great Moment In Time from Tom Locke that had a
retrospective feel with the addition of former Moment In Time sponsor
Sorrells Pickard Gourmet Peanut Butter and a fantastic commercial plus a
great story and song by Kenny Rogers, Twenty Years Ago. We had a record
crowd in the Chat Room and the "Nuts in the Hut" were all having a
ball. We had our regulars, occasional visitors and some brand new folks
who soon became honorary "Nuts". LOL It was great to reminisce about the
early days of the show, played back phone messages I received right up
to show time, read some wonderful emails from listeners, played some
classic IDs of radio stations that have aired the show over these past
twenty years, and also played back some wonderful phone calls and
greetings from folks who called in 10 years ago for our 10th
Anniversary. They all wished the show at least 10 more years, and this
week we in fact reached that additional ten year milestone. There are
just too many individuals over the years to thank by name; but I do
thank you all so much. By the time the four hours were over, I was
exhausted and drained. But what a great feeling!

I
am pleased to let you know that we completed in time for the show,
brand new Broadcast Partners Network page. It is now no longer just a
list of stations that carry the show. The page now spotlights the
various FM, AM, Online and even Shortwave radio stations around the
world that carry the show. You can now also check out the weekly program
grid and find a day and time that is convenient to you to hear the
latest show played back on our Broadcast Partners stations. You can
click on the click for any station and it will bring you to that
station's website in a new window. My very special thanks to my partner
and Webmaster extraordinaire, Eddy Fisher, for this great new addition
to the website.

When
I began the show on May 4, 1007, it was a three hour show Sunday
afternoons, but before long switched to the current evening time and
expanded to four hours. I had no idea it would endure and be picked up
by radio stations around the world. 20 years later, I am still having a
blast bringing you a new show every week. I sure hope we have many more
years together.

Next
week on the show we pay respect and show our love for our Moms, whether
still with us or not, for our annual Mother's Day SpecialIf you have a
birthday coming up soon, I'd like to help celebrate your special day by
wishing you Happy Birthday on the air and also play Birthday by The
Beatles for you. Send the details tobirthdays@treasureislandoldies.com

The
Top Five Countdown on this week's show is from 196. And the Number One
song is by The Shirelles with a real '60s classic, Soldier Boy. It's
playing at the Treasure Island Oldies Blog. Enjoy!

About Me

I love good music - period, but I have a passion for the music of
the '50, '60s and '70s. I started Treasure Island Oldies for two
reasons: I had to get back on the air; I missed radio so much. I also
got tired of hearing "good times and 'eight' oldies", and knew with all
my previous radio programming experience, I could offer a weekly oldies
show that would feature familiar songs but also a lot of "instant
memories", songs you have not heard since they were first played on the
radio for a short time, then disappeared, seemingly forever. I knew
having someone hear a song they have not heard for literally 30 or 40
years, would touch a nerve. Perhaps the memory of a special occasion,
or maybe just another day, that particular song really caught their ear
back then. And every time I play one of those what I call Lost
Treasures, I get immediate individual feedback from the chat room,
email and my blogs. So I play a lot of music heard hardly anywhere
else. Join me live Sundays 6 to 10 p.m. Pacific, and also, the weekly
show archives at www.TreasureIslandOldies.com Let the memories flow!
